1.Difference between diesel powered refrigeration unit and engine driven refrigeration unit

: Independent and non-independent refrigeration units are divided according to power source. Independent refrigeration unit (Diesel powered refrigeration unit) means that the refrigeration unit has a separate power source and the unit itself has an independent power source.

Generally speaking, diesel powered reefer unit is integrated structures, but there are also modified split structures (this structure is generally hoisted on the beam of the reefer truck). This type of unit itself has an engine and a generator that provide power and electricity to the refrigeration system Device. It can work independently without being restricted by the working state of the truck engine.

Non-independent refrigeration unit (

😞 As the name implies, it is a refrigeration unit that cannot work independently. This type of unit has no power unit and must rely on the truck engine to drive the compressor to work.

The engine driven refrigeration unit can also be divided into an integral structure and a split structure from the structure. The split structure also includes three types of condenser front type, condenser top-mounted type and condenser bottom-mounted type (bottom-mounted or concealed); but the condenser front-mounted structure is the most common structure in split non-independent refrigeration units.

2.Advantages and disadvantages of diesel engine refrigeration unit and engine driven refrigeration units

Independent refrigeration unit

Advantages: The advantage of diesel engine refrigeration unit is stability and reliability, which is also the most needed for refrigerated trucks. Since the diesel engine refrigeration unit has a separate source of power output, the refrigerator can still work when the refrigerated vehicle is turned off or the refrigerated vehicle has an engine failure, so as to ensure that the goods in the refrigerated vehicle will not deteriorate.

Integrated independent refrigeration unit

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of independent refrigeration units is that they are expensive and maintenance is more complicated than non-independent refrigeration units. Due to the addition of a set of power systems, independent refrigeration units are more complicated than non-independent refrigeration units in terms of maintenance, and independent refrigeration units are relatively more technically complex and more expensive.

Non-independent refrigeration unit

Advantages: The advantages of non-independent refrigeration units are low price, simple structure and easy maintenance.

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of the non-independent refrigeration unit is that it relies too much on the power source of the refrigerated vehicle. When the refrigerated vehicle engine stops working, the non-independent refrigeration unit loses power support and the refrigeration system stops working. If the door is frequently opened when the vehicle is turned off, the large loss of cold air in the refrigerated box causes the temperature in the box to rise, or the refrigerator will stop cooling when the vehicle fails (engine failure), and the cargo in the vehicle is easily lost.

3.Choice of independent refrigeration unit and non-independent refrigeration unit

From the price point of view: If your budget is relatively sufficient and have strict temperature requirements (the required temperature should be at least minus 10 degrees below) ) It is recommended to use a diesel powered refrigeration unit.

In terms of the length of transportation distance: For short-distance distribution within the city or between districts and counties, it is recommended to use non-independent units, which not only lower the procurement cost, but also easy to repair even if there is a failure; For long-distance transportation, it is recommended to use independent refrigeration units, because Even if the vehicle engine stops working during long-distance transportation, the refrigerator can still cool normally to ensure the safety of the transported items.

In terms of vehicle models: Generally speaking, light trucks with a body less than 7 meters are recommended to use non-independent units. For trucks and semi-trailers above 7 meters, independent refrigeration units are better.

      The Engine Control Module: The Hidden Genius Behind Your Car's Performance
      By Clifford Auto Parts
      Every time you start your car, accelerate on the highway, or cruise through city streets, there’s a silent genius at work ensuring everything runs smoothly—the Engine Control Module (ECM). While it may not be the most glamorous part of your vehicle, the ECM plays a critical role in ensuring your car performs at its best.
      Let’s dive into the world of ECMs to understand why this small but mighty component is so important and how it impacts your driving experience.
      What Exactly is the ECM?
      The ECM is often referred to as the brain of your car, and for good reason. It’s a sophisticated computer that processes data from various sensors throughout your vehicle. These sensors monitor critical factors like air intake, engine temperature, fuel levels, and more.
      The ECM uses this data to make real-time adjustments to ensure your engine runs efficiently. For example, it determines the exact amount of fuel your engine needs and adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio for optimal combustion. Without it, your car would struggle to start, run inefficiently, or even fail to comply with emissions standards.
      Why the ECM Matters
      It’s easy to overlook something as technical as an ECM, but this little device affects almost every aspect of your driving experience.
      Fuel Efficiency
      If you’ve ever wondered how modern cars manage to go further on a gallon of gas, the ECM is part of the answer. It fine-tunes fuel delivery to maximize efficiency, saving you money at the pump.
      Performance
      Whether you’re accelerating onto the freeway or climbing a steep hill, the ECM ensures your engine delivers the power you need when you need it.
      Emissions Control
      The ECM helps reduce harmful emissions by carefully managing the combustion process. This not only keeps the environment cleaner but also ensures your car meets legal standards.
      Diagnostics
      When something goes wrong, the ECM doesn’t just sit idly by. It records fault codes that mechanics can use to pinpoint issues quickly. That check engine light? It’s often the ECM trying to tell you something needs attention.
      Signs Your ECM Might Be in Trouble
      Like any other electronic component, the ECM isn’t immune to wear and tear. If your car is experiencing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to have your ECM checked:
      Difficulty Starting: A failing ECM may struggle to regulate fuel delivery, making it hard to start your car. Poor Performance: If your engine feels sluggish or unresponsive, the ECM might not be doing its job. Unusual Fuel Consumption: A faulty ECM can disrupt fuel efficiency, leading to higher costs at the pump. Check Engine Light: While this can indicate many issues, an ECM problem is one possibility. Replacing or Upgrading Your ECM
      If your ECM is damaged or outdated, replacing it with a high-quality unit is essential. When choosing a replacement, ensure it’s compatible with your vehicle’s make and model. Investing in a reliable ECM can restore your car’s performance and save you from costly repairs down the line.
      Conclusion
      The ECM might not be the most visible part of your vehicle, but its impact is undeniable. It’s the behind-the-scenes mastermind ensuring your car runs efficiently, performs well, and meets modern environmental standards.
      So, the next time you enjoy a smooth ride or marvel at your car’s fuel economy, take a moment to appreciate the ECM quietly working its magic under the hood. It’s proof that sometimes, the most important things are the ones we don’t see.
